Likely the "brain" for the pair is on that side and the extra load of doing it's job has worn down the battery's life faster on that side.

Children. Children don't look. When I was very young I got stuck in a toilet in the middle of the night because my mom's boyfriend left the seat up. No one heard my cries for help. I was stuck for a while.
Sometimes it's not because of trauma or being raised by narcissists. Sometimes it's because you're neurodivergent and asking for/accepting help lands you in a minefield of social rules, obligations, AND SMALL TALK that require a lot of excess work, time, and goddamn mental energy to navigate when all you wanted to do was move a stupid couch and go back to your day.
OR you could spend five quiet minutes to do it alone with a clever work around that involves none of that garbage.
I don't miss network administration. The long drag out conversations with clients to convince them that basic security was necessary while dodging the "it's fine we've always done it this way" and "we don't want to memorize new passwords" hot spots.
I'm sure this won't be abused at allllll.
In all my years this might be the most dumb block list I have ever seen. A sample:
Yeah but I like that stuff. It gives me options so I have a more space to work around unruly printers. I can't tell you how many times an outdated generic driver from the dark ages was the fix I needed. Especially helpful when working with clients using proprietary software that doesn't play well with others.
Eh I never minded. I preferred printer problems. Fixing the default printing source made me cool. Downloading a driver or pointing a user to the right network printer made me a hero. Replacing a roller or a fuser so the printer stopped jamming elevated me to legendary. Much more relaxing then fixing someone's janky SQL "formula" because their "excel is broken."
You guys are hilarious with your "I'd just keep/buy an old car." The EU is also making it illegal to repair older vehicles and forcing people to replace "outdated" models with more environmentally friendly ones. China did the same thing with a buyback and destroy of all their outdated vehicles. Their aren't going to be any old vehicles. The only way to address this is to demand privacy rights and protection NOW.
Yes but never forget they aren't above building profiles on people and selling them. The US government regularly buys these sort of data packages as a loophole to bypass constitutional protections against search and seizures.
